CRNAs do provide 68% of all the anesthetics administered yearly.
source: cnn.com search, association of nurse anesthetists, and several other web sites, including conversing with a CRNA in my city.

They are very similar to NPs and PAs in the aspect they provide a much needed service at an effective cost especially in rural cities. No programs accept ASNs. You must have a BSN.

NH is not the only state that allow CRNAs to work w/out a physician. There are 28 or 29 states that allow the CRNA to work without the direct supervision of a MDA.

I to ask why 'cma' is a MDA on the pod forum? I highly doubt you are a MDA. I highly doubt you even know a MDA.

You cannot argue with me on this one. I am an OR nurse and have been for 8 years. I have worked along side CRNAs and MDAs. MDAs are all big-headed and seem to only care about their handicap in golf and their new Mercedes S500. It seems like the only one who actually cares about patients needs and interests are RNs and APRNs. All MDs care about is whether or not someone is going to take over their job like a CRNA over a MDA.

You better do all your homework on nursing before posting. The research you do should also be credible and not some crazy thought you dreamed up while in the dental chair under nitrous oxide having a apicoectomy performed.
